Royal Patrons

Royal Peers are encouraged to act as advisors to branches which do not
have direct access to the Landed Nobility or the Crown. These Royal
Peers, referred to as Royal Patrons, act in this capacity upon the
mutual request of the branch and the Royal Peer, and upon the consent
of the Crown. This relationship may be terminated at any time by the
branch, the Royal Patron or the Crown. The responsibilities of Patrons
include: swearing fealty to the Crown; holding courts as Patron; raising
warbands from within the branch; receiving copies of reports from branch
officers; reporting to the Crown and Heirs on the state of the Branch one
month before Coronation; acting as an advocate for the branch;
representing the branch in meetings of the Noble Estate; and in all
ways acting in the best interest of the branch.
